Please re-Tweet if you agree: Sometimes, #carers need advice, a helping hand, time to rest, or an ear to bend. Sometimes, just a hug because it is their turn to receive care. #Alzheimers #dementia #mentalhealth #caregiving

Don't get lost in the data. These are real people. Consider the context of your partnership and the problems they face in addition to the one you are working on. @TheDrPT gives powerful message at #ImpSciCSD22

Yet again, another amazing talk from @tiffanyphogan! Academic researchers need to realize and embrace the fact that clinicians working on the ground daily are the ultimate implementation scientists. Research should be driven by clinician needs! #ImpSciCSD22

Who is our evidence for, or not? What contextual factors make it implementable? How can we better disseminate to clinicians? We need champions for EBP! Great talks at #ImpSciCSD22 #SLP #SLT #CommunicationIsAHumanRight @MGHInstitute @TheInformedSLP

“It is not about improving our writing as researchers - Many SLPs do not have the time to read evidence based on the practice in their work week…we need authentic research-practice partnerships” YES 👏 @Nat_Douglas!!! #ImpSciCSD22

Wow @megan_schliep @rkomesidou! A fantastic presentation on all things #ImpSci frameworks! “If it doesn’t work for the clinician, it can’t/won’t be implemented. #ImpSci is needed to identify what needs to be changed to make it implementable” So much new learning! #ImpSciCSD22

Will definitely check out these #youthjusticetm resources from @TalkingMats People w/communication disabilities should have access to communication intermediaries in the justice system. #SLP #SLT

Excited to be attending the online launch of the new Youth Justice resources from @TalkingMats. This is going to be such a valuable tool to help people communicate their opinions/feelings/preferences & explore topics that might otherwise have been too challenging. #youthjusticetm

#ImpSci needs to include equity. How are we assessing and treating and are we culturally responsive? Attending to social determinants of health? - Dr Charles Ellis, #SLP #SLT @MGHInstitute @TheInformedSLP
I think this has been the key factor of #LivingWellWithAphasia….the ability to accept my circumstances right now without it affecting my need to keep working on improvement and making goals for the future. Acceptance and Commitment to my continued progress.

Lots in the media this week on #Aphasia, including on @GMB today with @DrHilaryJones. The main intervention for people with aphasia is #speechandlanguagetherapy, which dramatically improves communication ability and quality of life--this is backed up by strong evidence. 1/

Couldn’t agree more! Let’s look for strengths and support people with #dementia in using their strengths. #meaningfulengagement #CommunicationIsAHumanRight

Let's focus more on what people living with #dementia CAN do and less on what they cannot. #Alzheimers #quote
